The full quote gives some important context: > Listings for DEI roles were down 19% last year — a bigger decline than legal or general human resources jobs saw, according to findings from Textio, which helps companies create unbiased job ads. Only software engineering and data science jobs saw larger declines, at 24% and 27%, respectively. I'm guessing these were listings Textio was paid to analyze, so there are multiple possible causes for the decline.
